Great Company; Placed In Wrong Group

Pros

As the title states, I worked at BDO for a few months before I moved on. The company overall seemed very well. There was actual training to get you started (though I had already learned most of it) and they had a lot of resources from various groups. Most if not all of the people were friendly.

Cons

The only downside for me was the group I was part of. I was part of the newly formed and growing small business group. The issue with this group was firstly the manager though smart lacked certain skills. For example she had stated that if the client yells at her, she would yell at us, which is fair. I just nodded and agreed. The other issue was she had no other real work experience except BDO started off as a co-up and worked here way up, she had no other work experience and perhaps lacked other skills. Finally the last down fall was the group was to large for one manager to manage. It was roughly 15-20 people for one person which I think is way to much.

Pros

The flexibility was great. The people are great as well, and there is a family feel to the offices.

Cons

The company is growing more quickly than they can sustain, and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. This has created an abundance of work and long hours for employees across the firm. Communication is also a bit siloed.

Pros

Good learning experience, really good clients from pre ipo to public. BDO claims to be the best for working parents, not true experience.

Cons

Mandatory 55 min hours during busy season. A lot of driving during traffic hours. No overtime pay.
